Greenpeace opposes both coal and nuclear in favor of renewables. Saying they caused coal is ridiculous; they are neutral on coal vs nuclear.

- joecool1029 8y ago> Saying they caused coal is ridiculous Renewables cannot practically replace base load at this time. Name a group that's done more to oppose operating nuclear power plants. Not just planned new construction, GP actively opposes and tries to shutdown operating plants. If you remove nuclear plants you have to replace base load generation with coal. Other than pumping hydro which has its own environmental issues and won't work everywhere... what else do you expect to replace that base load with in most of the world? Rolling blackouts? So yes, I'm quite comfortable in saying they caused increased coal usage in their shortsightedness, with all the baggage it comes along with.
